PCell caching in a multi-vendor custom IC design environment Used in the design of analog and custom digital circuits, parameterized cells (PCells) are software scripts used to define physical layout ...

AUSTIN, Texas--(BUSINESS WIRE)--The Silicon Integration Initiative (Si2) has announced several technology donations and contributed work which will facilitate the development of open PCells ...

The current methodology for SOC (system-on-chip) design employs a hierarchical approach that maximizes the use of IP (intellectual-property) blocks. This method replaces the previous one, which used ...

There are plenty of things to agree and disagree about, but what else would you expect from a gathering of pcell developers? In the last Standards and Beyond blog, we provided background on the Open ...

In the age of convergence, analog and full-custom design is reasserting itself as a crucial aspect of almost all system-level designs. While analog content is growing by leaps and bounds in most IC ...
